Yang Tengbo, a Chinese businessman with close ties to Prince Andrew, has been banned from entering the UK. British authorities allege he was working as a spy for the Chinese Communist Party's United Front Work Department.
British authorities allege that businessman Yang Tengbo was working on behalf of the United Front Work Department, an arm of the Chinese Communist Party that is used to promote Beijing's interests overseas. YANG, 50, also known as Chris Yang, is listed as a director of Hampton Group International, a business consultancy advising UK-based companies on their operations in China.
He has been photographed at events with senior UK politicians, including former prime ministers David Cameron and Theresa May. He worked as a junior civil servant in China before arriving in the UK in 2002 to study. He earned a master’s degree in public administration and public policy at the University of York before starting his business. Yang was granted the right to live and work in the UK for an indefinite period in 2013. He told authorities he had spent regular time in Britain and considered it his second home. Details about Yang's case emerged last week at a special immigration tribunal, which upheld a decision by British authorities to ban Yang from entering the UK in 2023. He was removed from a flight from Beijing to London in February 2023 and was told that Britain intended to ban him from the country. The Home Office said he was believed to have carried out “covert and deceptive activity” for the Chinese Communist Party
